(Verse 1) 

    G#    C7     Cm7/F         C#/D#   D#7   G#  
  I wish  I knew how, it would feel    to be free

    G#                          D#7
  I wish I could break, all the chains holding me

    G#   C7      Cm7/F       C#/D#    D#7    G#
  I wish I could see,   everything  I had to see

          G#    C7         Cm7/F          D#7         D#9      G#
  Sing it loud,    sing it clear, for the whole round world to hear

  I wish I could share, all the love that's in my heart

    G#                      D#7
  Remove all the bars, that keep us apart

    G#   C7        Cm7/F        C#/D#   D#7   G# 
  I wish you knew, how it would feel    to be me

             G#   C7     Cm7/F       D#7   D#9       G#
  Then you'd see,    and agree, everyone   should be free

    G#   C7      Cm7/F         C#/D#  D#7    G#   
  I wish I could give, all I'm long---ing to give

    G#                          D#7
  I wish I could live, like I'm longing to live

    G#   C7      Cm7/F   C#/D#      D#7     G#
  I wish I could do everything that I could do

             G#   C7     Cm7/F       D#7    D#9  G#
  Though I'm way     overdue, I'd be start--ing  new



(Verse 4)

    G#   C7      Cm7/F     C#/D#  D#7    G#
  I wish I could be like a bird   in the sky

      G#                     D#7 
  How sweet it would be if I found I could fly

      G#   C7     Cm7/F        C#/D#  D#7    G#
  I'd soar to the sun and look down  at the sea

          G#    C7         Cm7/F
  And I'd sing,    cause I know *echo and repeated*
